Hi everyone! I am a veterinary technician in Oregon. I have a good friend who refered me to this forum to help me in my search. I am looking for a baby girl who needs a home. So far the search has been difficult. This is not because there is a shortage of dogs. But of the puppies that I've met so far, none of them felt like the one. I think I'll know when I find her. I knew when I found my kitty from the first second I saw him.

But after I find her, this looks like a great place to visit for questions. I am sure that we'll run into some uncomfortable situations, since she is a pit bull. It will be great to be able to ask questions of others who have been in those situations before, and have some good insight.

The puppy that I am looking for will be 5-8 weeks old. She will be equally fawn and white with a touch of blue. (Or a touch of black) She will have a long tail with a white flag and big ears. And her nose will be the longer type of the pits. And when she looks into my eyes, I'll know she needs me.

The reason I am so specific in what I am looking for in a baby girl, is because I have chosen to honor my last pit bull in this way. I am looking for a baby with the same markings and personality.

My last girl I fostered for almost 3 weeks. Her owners released custody after she was diagnosed with megaesophagus. They didn't want to give her up, but knew they couldn't care for her. I lived and breathed every moment of that baby's life from the moment I first took her into my arms till pneumonia took her away from me. She was more than a special blessing, so much more. And I miss her so much.

I never knew how much I wanted a pit bull until I had her. You can't replace someone like that. You can only honor them by giving your love to another. I hope that if she is watching from heaven that she will be proud of me in how I care for the little girl we have yet to find.
